    With the old forum, animated gif were fine as long as they met the size limit. I am using the same gif from before but it appears it's not animated anymore. Did the size limit go down or was animation support removed?

    Using Chrome and Windows 7

    Honestly, animated avatars are really annoying. I kind of hope they're gone.

    XenForo resizes avatars into small/medium/large so any gif's won't remain gif and become jpg.

    Yes.. this is something that is unlikely to be fixed, as it's a Xenforo feature.
